Construction and career edit

HSwMS Bävern was launched on 3 February 1958 by Saab Kockums, Karlskrona and commissioned on 29 May 1959.

On 19 August 1961, while in Lysekil, she was involved in a bizarre collision with a Volvo P544 car which rolled downhill onto a pier.[2]

She was decommissioned on 1 July 1980 and later sold for scrap in Odense in 1981.[3]
